ATHENS, GA - The 17th-ranked Blue Devil's lost for the third consecutive match as they fell to host Georgia, 1-0, in a nonconference match up Sunday afternoon at UGA Soccer/Softball Complex. It was the first time this season Duke was shutout by its opponent.

Halfway through the first half, Georgia's Tricia McKee was tackled in the Duke box , setting up a penalty kick for the Bulldogs. Carolyn Cayard took the kick at the 21:51 mark, putting it past Duke goalkeeper Thora Helgadottir for what turned in to the game winning goal.

The Blue Devils (5-5-0) mounted strong attacks late in the half with Georgia keeper Ashley Lindley making three key saves. Duke out shot Georgia 8-2 in the first half.

Duke had several scoring chances in the second half, out shooting Georgia 14-3 overall in the game. The Blue Devils netted a shot in the 88th minute. However, they were ruled offside, negating the goal. The Bulldogs held on for the 1-0 win.

The Blue Devils return home for the ACC home opener on Saturday, October 5, against Clemson and then host Florida State on Tuesday, October 8. Both games start at 7:00 p.m.
